Foamy T. Squirrel

You mean he's out romancing babes at southern hemisphere beaches while I'm stuck out in the cold in Krasnoyarsk? Damn, did I screw up or what? Knowing him, he's probably hanging out with K&K until things warm up again at Leora's apartment. Fricken mercenary...

He's been hiding under Leora's couch, waiting for Paul, Scooter and me to leave the apartment.

He'll be back. Trolls gonna troll. Besides, his above post is a trolling masterpiece. I think CamCaps is where they come to refine their craft.

I give iconcam 10 points for posting this in the proper section we lovingly call "Rants and Flame Wars." Truly a call to action. Have at it, boys... :lmao:

TBG & I are behind the times! I didn't know there was a translate button either! See, you learn something new every day here at CamCaps!

Politicians are greedy for political power, and they will gladly pass legislation for those who will pay the most protection money to them. This generally results in legislation that eliminates competition, as well has promoting regulations that keep small businesses from growing. As it is, small business start-ups in the United States (and that means mom & pop shops) have not been this low for decades. Personally, I'm not afraid of mom & pops: some were my customers, some were my vendors. We all did what we could do to make each other successful. But when my company's medical insurance doubled in 2010 and I realized I was now dealing with 15 different governmental entities instead of serving my customers, I shut down the business. It was no longer cost effective. I'm Atlas shrugged. Hence, I now have time to bully CC members around with my Mod status although I'd prefer have enough money coming in to travel the world. Alas, Barcelona is but a dream. :'(

I watch futbol seldom, but in honor of our beloved Leora and our Spanish couples, I did watch the ending games of the World Cup last time around. (I'll even watch futbol during the Olympics.) And I actually found these closely contested games to be interesting when something actually exciting happened. Take that as a compliment from a Yankee squirrel. Because other than that, I will only watch billiard tournaments when done by professionals and porn when done by amateurs. I'm just not much of a sports guy anymore. Lost too many goddamn bets, and my local pro-teams suck!

Sounds like we need a game section created over in Old Dudes. It certainly beats the hell out of arguing with each other over at Rants & Flames, or waiting for Ilona & Irma to start fucking each other over at the Apartment threads! (Thanks for the info on Sudoku, as I have been Sudoku disadvantaged. Anyone up for a game of 9 ball? How 'bout cribbage? Strip poker with Leora & Anna? :P :P :P)

Both Socialism (in all of its forms) and Communism (in all of its forms) are both State Capitalist systems. This simply means that the State, which also has the coercive force to enforce its laws, also controls the means of production and the means of consumption. This essentially removes the economic rights of individuals to keep their earnings or to trade in goods unless they are allowed special dispensation and favored by the Almighty State. They become subjects of a powerful Monopoly. There was a time when American colonists were prohibited from manufacturing finished goods like shovels, prohibited from buying tea that was shipped on anything other than English ships, and prohibited from holding government offices unless they tithed to the Anglican Church, the state sanctioned religion. That, too, was State Capitalism (often known as Mercantilism.) There is nothing new about government leaders seeking to usurp the economic or religious rights of individuals. A state with that much power, even if given it by a democratic political system, will ultimately become absolutely corrupt.

Whelp, let's start with the Weimar Republic. Then let's also move on to virtually every country in Eastern Europe. The history is there.

It's amazing how State Capitalists spend their time arguing about which brand of socialism can give the most power to the government. Bolsheviks vs Mencheviks, indeed.

Apparently, Imacman's post is legit. Unfortunately, I already deleted his post that looked very suspicious, but I will allow him to repost it. And yes, this morning was busy. I finally now just finished my morning coffee and I am now ready for a beer!

I think I have this apartment figured out now. http://victoriassecretvictoriassecret.tumblr.com/howvs

Wild speculation and conspiracy theories crumble into dust, you say? Ahhhh, but that is exactly what they want you to believe!

Hint: Victoria's Secret must be paying RLC a fortune for product placement in this apartment. ;)

I grew up reading Huckleberry Finn. We'd float down irrigation canals and smoke tobacco out of makeshift pipes. The book is banned in schools now. The pipes are used for something else now.

The girls are GONE. The pissing contest between CC members can now be continued at Flame Wars. Thank you and have a nice day. :)

I tend to agree with you. RLC was originally envisioned to host the "real lives" of young couples. They seldom played to the cameras; they had real lives outside of RLC, and did things other than just engage in sex. Even those couples engaged in the theater arts (like N&K) simply went about their usual and believable routines. But RLC got bigger (just as CC has gotten bigger), and they discovered they could get a bit more traffic by showing a bit more sex that is normally existent. The "all girls apartment" is all about eye-candy: these are women who by profession love to be exhibitionists. Yes, they play to the cameras. But I don't think RLC is centrally scripted; I just think they let them improvise on their own. We still have Maya and Stephen, and certainly N&B & Masha & Sasha & D&D are not particularly interested in being Internet soft-porn stars, and do fit the original mission statement of RLC. RLC & VV are not the same kind of sites, anyway. IMHO.

It is against our rules to publicly divulge information that could lead to a positive identification of a tenant. Sorry, but the safety of the tenants is important to CamCaps and to RLC. The Rules are here: http://camcaps.net/index.php?topic=6712.0

In light of SpaceX's glorious achievement today, which I must say was the most amazing "live stream" I've seen since the Eagle landed on the Moon, I have decided to celebrate their glory with a salute to free-enterprise capitalism and the younger generation that pulled off this technological feat. The dream of our distant ancestors is not over:

The kids are under control. They just got uppity because Zoya hasn't sawed herself off on free cams lately. So I declared a recess. It worked. It's a safe zone. Now maybe Zoya will saw herself off in my office for me while the kids go out and play dodge ball.. :yeahbaby:

Yes, we're all on a small boat here. And I'm glad we're so in control considering our lovely mermaids Irma, Ilona, and now Anna have created such a feeding frenzy. We'll done, gents. Let's carry on. Whatever RLC is trying to do with this apartment, it certainly is working...

All the world's a game, and all the men and women merely gamers. They have their log-ins, and they have their log-offs...

Thank you JoJo. I always respect your comments. It's obvious that the purveyors of Operating Systems have been working on device independence, meaning that they'll work on any device, since now people have so many different devices. Those of us who are laptop or desktop oldsters will simply need to understand that the new operating systems (and this includes even the newer versions Linux distribs) are radically changing to ultimately reach this goal, and though they come with some pain involved, these changes are inevitable. Microsoft's recent tendency to include Linux occasionally in their support mechanisms is shocking; but Apple's reluctance to give up it's proprietary domains is not surprising, with perhaps the exception of Itunes, which works on PCs, but not on Unix systems. Apple has other interests. Google has always supported cross-platform, on all platforms (Linux included: Google Earth works great on my Linux box and so have their other aps --and yes, I know Android is Unix based) and I think MS has decided that it must respond with a similar and hopefully better effort to become the almighty "Universal Operating System." Apple's strategy is to sell new and innovative physical products based on proprietary hardware and software: Microsoft and Google never cared about selling gizmos. They are interested in something far more expansive: control of the entire consumerist IT virtual market which controls those physical devices. That's just my :twocents: I'll simply roll with the change...

I doubt we Nora lovers will be fortunate. Anyway, the days of N&K living together on RLC and enjoying their teatro friends, wine and eating soup over intellectual conversation seem to be over. I always preferred to watch Nora being the "girl next door," and not the prima ballerina. This particular apartment is simply different, but RLC has a good trio of girls in there right now, and it draws traffic for them (as well as a lot of comments here on CC), so we will just let it roll. When all else fails, just see what new projects Super Maya is conducting. She's as real as real-life can get. Until then, Irma is simply one interesting and very hot young lady, and the others are good eye-candy additions as well. IMHO.
